Re: RE: domapi license issues (fwd)

Christian,

Thanks for looking into this so deeply.  I like the BitFlux Editor and 
am very impressed by it's features.  I haven't done much coding with it 
since I've not yet figured out the XSchema portion necessary to make it 
work.  I'd like to use it and when that happens, I'll be more able to 
contribute.

All my knowledge in DHTML-ish programming comes from this wonderful 
O'Reilly book, "Dynamic HTML: The definative guide."  I have little 
experience in DHTML, though that's slowly changing - my background is 
server-side programming with python and perl.

Personally, I'd like to look at some other options before we commit to 
what is in essence non-free software.  The first one that comes to mind 
is DynAPI.  How does that compare?

Food for thought:  KDE1 was based on Troll Tech's QT library before it 
was free.  KDE1 was a ground breaker that succeeded in spite of it's 
non-free base.  (Troll Tech eventually made QT/linux open-source, but 
that's another story.  I don't think Bitflux Editor has that much sway :)

Thanks.
Troy
